Which infrastructure-as-code tools are supported?

The skill supports the Azure Developer CLI (AZD), standard Azure CLI (AZCLI), Bicep, and Terraform templates.

Is azure-prepare required before deploying to Azure?

Yes, it is a mandatory first step before generating any Azure infrastructure files or running deployment commands to ensure architectural consistency.

Can I use this for existing projects?

Absolutely. It is designed for both creating new projects and adding cloud components or modernizing existing local applications for Azure.

What is the purpose of the preparation manifest?

The .azure/preparation-manifest.md file tracks all configuration decisions and artifacts, serving as the source of truth for the validation and deployment skills.

Prepares applications for Azure hosting by gathering requirements, selecting infrastructure recipes, and generating deployment manifests.

Azure App Preparation is a mandatory architectural utility for Claude Code that orchestrates the setup and modernization of applications for the Microsoft Azure cloud. It systematically guides developers through workspace analysis, service selection, and infrastructure planning using standard recipes like AZD, Bicep, or Terraform. By enforcing the creation of a preparation manifest, it ensures all infrastructure-as-code (IaC) artifacts and CLI commands are grounded in current best practices, user-confirmed subscriptions, and specific regional availability, providing a reliable foundation for subsequent deployment and validation.
